It's been awhile since I've posted a Jam and the topic of should give you some hint as to why. I lost my father recently and it was a moment that required me to step away from a number of commitments. It also made me reflect on how we don't often talk about in the context of losing a loved one. So here's my Jam with a few thoughts!

The ramifications of Silicon Valley Bank's failure are still reverberating through the financial system.

In my latest Jam, I talk about how irresponsible this is and ways leaders can address this sentiment in a constructive way.
